Will is incredible. The whole dev system (both lab and passive) are his baby and he's been absolutely amazing at helping explain it, talking through all the questions and concerns for months now, and working to tweak it based on feedback. He deserves all the kudos and then some.

I did my first auto sim of OOTP25 and you'll be happy to know your Orioles won the World Series in six games over the Braves (after defeating my 98 win Astros in the ALCS). Gunner Henderson and Adley Rutschman were 6+ WAR players!

SO helpful as someone who just came into OOTP at the tale end of 24 to have someone with experience to provide a baseline to new features just when I felt like I was getting my feet wet with the base game! Can't want to enjoy this years content and game along with the channel and community! :D

I thought the big benefit would be drafting a dude worth 70 potential power but 35 potential avoids K's and then putting the avoid K's slider all the way up.
@OOTPaddy10 ай бұрын
That's one approach to try for sure, but my read from what's been said so far about this is that type of approach wouldn't really work because it's more complicated than that.

I think any team that plays in a park that favors either L/R heavily for HR would be interesting to watch and the orioles also have the added fun of seeing who you hold on too that might not look like theyll ever be anything or are actively worse than what you could have but you want to keep them around in hopes they get better.

Hey PF, love the content my friend! I've mentioned this already to Old School Sports but since you were looking at Bradish's pitches and commenting on them I thought I'd bring it up here for your thoughts as well (none of my friends play this game sadly so I come to youtube to try and find gamers smarter than I am to answer my questions. :P). Pitch rankings are just making me scratch my head - yes the elite pitchers still have the 75-80 grade fastballs and sliders etc in their arsenal but I'm having a hard time getting a read on the other non-Cy Young contender pitchers... take for instance a Cal Quantrill in Colorado - a 45 overall pitcher (below average, but not by much as a 45). He has five pitches which sounds good, but his 3 BEST pitches are 35/35 and the other two are 20/20. I find it impossible to conceive that a major league pitcher (paticularly a starter) would not have a least ONE pitch that is an average major league quality (50 ranking yes?). So just looking for your thoughts on that - maybe there's a reason that you pick up on that my old and foggy mind cannot. :) Otherwise are we going to start paying a little less attention to the pitch qualities and more to the Stuff/Control/Movement? Thanks PF, let me know what you think and please keep those videos coming!

Pitch ratings do look a bit off. In term of 50 = average. That was my understanding for years, since that's how the MLB scouting scale works. But the devs have said their rating scale isn't designed to have 50 reflect average.
@trengilly0110 ай бұрын
Will's quote was 'When you give more to a rating, not only will it improve development, which includes current ratings as well as talent increases, but it also influences how well a player who has already maxed out his current ratings will maintain it and even fight off the aging curve if he's getting older.' So that does sound like it can help with 'talent increases', which are I assume the chance that developing players boost their maximum talent potential. But I doubt it would boost a fully developed player? I'm curious to see if all the categories are equally important? Why wouldn't you always want to under weight Gap and put some of that time into Power or Eye. Although the penalty for going too low (-10 'points') is bigger than the equivalent positive bonus. So perhaps by focusing you slightly harm overall development/maintenance. I can see it being really useful for aging players to maintain their important skills. Especially if a hitter is transitioning to DH . . . no need to waste any time on defense. Its going to be really fun to play around with (in addition to the Development Lab). I love the idea you can now help direct how players develop.

All of a sudden, my vladdy Guerrero jr went from 5 stars to 3.5, nothing noted in player development. Also, when I updated the game from 24 to 25 a lot of my players lost more than a star of rating. Why is this?

Not sure, but if you suspect it may be a bug, the best thing to do is post it in the OOTP forums in their bug report section: forums.ootpdevelopments.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4057

thanks for the vid! consider to do the mariners, no highly rated prospects and a true rebuild as the current roster is probably not good enough

If I picked the M's, I think the challenge for me would be to not rebuild and surround Julio + the young pitchers with a team that's good enough to contend.

Your thoughts on Bradish are my thoughts on Logan Webb every year. He ends up being very mid every iteration. His sinker and slider should probably be in the 60’s (20-80), and his movement bumped as well. 2nd place Cy Young and consistently upper tier. In game, he struggles to maintain a 3.80-4.20 ERA. 🤦♂️

Interesting, I had not noticed that on Webb. Funny enough, in a sim I ran last night, Webb won 2024 Cy young and Bradish finished in the top 10, haha
